APRIL 9, (91\u00bb\nNO 303\nADJOURNMENT\nInsurance Commission\nEnds Evidence\nReduction Yesterday's Theme\nHear Argument at\nVictoria\nThe provincial royal commission on\nfire insurance concluded its sessions\nfor tbe Interior yesterday. Four new\nwitnesses were examined at ithe morning sitting, all on the subject of local\nrates. For the sake of form, the commissioners were on hand In the after-\nnpon as well, but no witnesses presented themselves and final adjournment\nwas taken. The commission is now\nthrough with the taking of evidence,\nexcept a very special case should arise,\nand: the final sessions will open at Victoria, at a date yet to be set, for the\nhearing of argument.\nAll tbe commissioners were present,\n|U R. 8. Lennle in the chair, D. H. Macdowall, and A. 6. Erskine, and the\nrepresentatives of the underwriters, A.\nW. Ross, A. Waring Giles, and J. H.\nLawson jr., were in attendance, as well\n-as the witnesses, and a number of local\ninsurance men-\nAssociated Boards.\nThe first witness In the morning\nwas G, O. Buchanan of Kaslo, former\npresident of the Associated Boards of\nTrade of Eastern British Columbia. Mr.\nBuchanan said that at the late annual\nconvention of the Associated Boards at\nNelson, at which he occupied the chair,\na resolution wqs submitted by the delegation from Creston, In opposition to\nthe proposed Insurance bill. The\nresolution failed to pass, and oite of the\nreasons given for voting against it\nwas thatt he whole subject was to he\ninvestigated by the insurance commission, the appointment of which had\nbeen foretold. The discussion on the\nresolution h;^d been lengthy and earnest, and many complaints and arguments were put forward that Insurance\nwas (oo costly. The resolution was opposed by the Insurance agents, on the\nground that the companies were entitled to protection, and that if the\nJ<; outside companies paid no commissions\nm.' to agents, they.should he compelled to\ni pay amounts equal to the commissions,\nto the government in the form of a\nft tax.\nKaslo Wants Reduction.\n' Mr. Buchanan said the Kaslo board\n| of trade had appointed a committee to\n( prepare evidence on the subject of the\n' alleged unduly high rates in Kaslo, and\nv submit It to the commission, and he\nf was greatly disappointed that the com-\n, tnittee for -some reason had not arrived. Invited by Commissioner Len-\n\u25a0 nie to submit as much as he could of\nJ the Kaslo board's argument, Mr.\nS Buchanan gave a review of conditions\n\u25a0 in the lake town. At the meeting of\nH- the iboard, at which the question was\n}|| taken up, lt was freely stated that the\nbusiness men of Kasto considered the\nrates too high, in view of the excellent\nfire fighting system which the town\npossessed. In the early days the town\nhad been swept by flre, when the fire\nfighting system was rather elementary,\nbut he could not, from memory recall\na total loss of 110,000 by fire in the last\n16 years. The present water system\nj cost 135,000, the water being piped from\na cistern on the hill, and there was a\nhigh pressure.\nBasis for Towns.\nReplying to Commissioner Lennle,\nMr. Ross stated that Book IV was the\nbasis of the Kaslo rate, as it was the\nbasis for the majority of communities\n\u25a0fiti the province. To Commissioner\nR Macdowall he stated that Rossland was\n~ also on Book IV. The commissioner\nremarked that a man from Rossland\n.\u25a0 bad told bim hts rate was 8 per cent.\n| Mr. Ross said this looked a little high,\nand he thought there must be some\nspecial ciroumstance connected with\nthe case. He thought the Kasto rate\nwould be about 7 per cent. Mr,\n! Buchanan confirmed this, stating be\nj bad heard 6 and 7 per cent, mentioned\nat tbe meeting.\nCommissioner Lennle asked why\nKaslo did not have the same rate as\nj Nelson, to which Mr. Ross made reply that the conditions were different\n'in several respects. Kaslo had an adequate water supply, but bad no paid\n''flre department, and with the exception of two or three buildings, the\ntown consisted wholly of wooden, or\nbrick veneer, structures, which In a\ncongested community were rated aa\nwooden. Kaslo, he fancied, had al.\n{v\/aye heen .based on Book IV.\nI Outside Rates Attractive.\nCommissioner Lennie asked for Mr,\n\u25a0Buchanan's opinion on restricting Insurance wtth outside companies, Mr.\n'Buchanan stated that be had been in\nthe lumber business for about 20 years\nprior to taking his present position,\nand -d*jr|og that period he had paid In*\nsurance premiums, wbleh In the latter\nportion of the period were very \u2022 high.\nCircumstances had compelled htm to\n'give all his business at home, aa the\nbanks would not accept outside policies\n(Continued on Pa** F1V\u00ab.)\nENGLISHMAN SELECTED\nAS RHODES SCHOLAR\nTrustees Say That Spirit of Rhodes* Intention Has Been Broken\u2014For\nCanadian Born\nLENNOXVILLE, Que., April 8\u2014The\nlong looked for .statement regarding\ntbe selection of A. A. Sturley of Bishops\nuniversity as a Rhodes scholar was\nmade public by the corporation this afternoon, Sturley, whose home is in\nBanbury, England, was chosen by the\ncommittee of selection and It caused\nconsiderable criticism as it was contended the \u00bbPi\u00bbit of the (will waB not carried out 'by sending an Englishman\nback to his own home. The Rhodes\nidea was to bring colonials into touch\nwith the motherland. So great was the\nInterest taken in the matter by the public Uhat the university took the -matter\nup with the trustees. After looking\ncarefully over the facts of tbe case, the\ntrustees reported that tbe \"spirit of the\nwill was not observed In the selection\nof Sturley, ibut that the scholarship\ncottfd not be withdrawn.\"\nFor Native Born\nAfter this was received the corporation sent back the following message:\n\"If Sturley resigns may w*p select another scholar?\" Tbe trustee^ replied\nthat they could, providing Sturley resigned voluntarily. The important\npoint growing out of this controversy is\nthat a Rhodes scholar selected from\nCanada must be Canadian born.\nTURKISH TROOPS\nSUffB SEVERELY\nLost two Thousand In Battle With\nAlbanians\u2014Commander Reported\nto be Wounded\nLONDON, April 8\u2014The Standard's\nConstantinople .correspondent reports\nrenewed righting between the.

He cited\na case where the father of a London,\nOntario man, an English farmer, who\nhad sold out bis holdings in order to\nconie to Canada witih the former's wife,\nson and daughter, had been locked up\nIn the immigration quarters at Quebec,\ndespite the fact that the farmer referred\nto produced $1000 fn a purse and some\nbank drafts. Major Beatty said the immigration officials refused to open the\ndoor hut on being threatened by bodily\nviolence by the London man, who Is\nsix feet four inches, they at last opened\nft. Mr, Beatty would not like to say it\nwas a hold up, but it looked like it.\nTime or Money\nA humorous incident occurred this\nafternoon while the house was waiting,\nfoi- the coming of the Black Rod to\nsummon it to the senate to hear the\nroyal assent given to a number of bills.\nThe house stopped business at 3:30\nand iwaited for the three knocks. Ten\nminutes passed and still no usher. Then\nDavid Henderson, the veteran from\nHamilton pointed out to the speaker\nthat It cost $21 a minute to run parliament and as 10 minutes had gone $210\nof tbe people's money had also vanished;\nHe suggested this was an extraordinary waste of good red gold. The house\nsmiled hugely at this pleasantry ami\nrenewed laughter greeted the sage remarks of Andrew Broder, the \"Abe\nLincoin\" from Dundas, that it might\nhave cost the country a great deal more\nif we had been busy.\nDuty on Fruit and Vegetables\nBefore the house went into supply,\nGeorge H. Bradbury, Selkirk, called attention to a recent petition of the whole\nsale vegetable and fruit dealers ot\nWinnipeg calling for an extension ot\nfree entry of early vegetables and fruit\nfrom the United Staates. Mr. Bradbury\nhoped no attention would be paid to\nthis petition. In the county of Selkirk\n\u25a0were nearly two-thirds of the market\ngardens oo Manitoga. He very much\ndoubted that the consumer would profit\nif the duty were remitted.\n^^^ Postdfflce Estimates\nIn supply the postoffice estimates\nwere talked of and Mr. Armstrong asked Mr. Lemieux if It was intended to\nincrease Uh\u00a9 salaries of the railway\nmail clerks.\nThe posttma&ter general replied that\nthese men had a substantial increase a\nfew years ago, His intention, however,\nw&s to bring the outside service under\nthe civil service act -and there would\nibe an adjustment of salaries under the\nnew classification.\nGood Progress v\nThe institution of morning sibt!ngs\\s\nalready having an effect in accelerating\nthe business of the house. Today good\nprogress was made. The important\ncurrency bill of Mr. -Fielding was -put\nthrough its various stages and a fair\nstart was made with the postoffice estimates. These are always productive\nof much oratory indulged in by Hon,\nMr. Lemieux and B. Armstrong, the\nchief opposition critic of the department. Today was no exception but the\npostmaster general while congratulating himself oh -his surplus showed that\nthe service was being Improved.*\nMr. Armstrong made suggestions. He\nfavored a system of rating postoffice\nemployees, having regard to efficiency\nand (faithfulness and claimed tbat all\nsites for all public buildings to be used\nexclusively for postoffice purposes\nshould be selected iby the minister.\nTHREE M0NTH3 FOR\nDESERTING KEY\nDrunken Operator Says Good Night\nand Goes.Home\u2014Trial\nFollows\nREGINA, April 8\u2014Night' operator\nVoyer of the Canadian Pacific offices,\nwas this morning sent to jail for three\nmonths, for deserting his. key on Wednesday -evening.

The agent was quickly\n\u2022secured and danger to trains mi\naverted by a new man taking the key.\nPRESENTATION TO\nHAMILTON BYERS\nBoard of Trade Members Express Appreciation on Eve of His Departure\u2014Pleasant Event,\nAn unique and instructive function\nWas that which took place at the board\nof trade rooms last evening when\nHamilton Byers, all-round good- citizen,\nwas honored 'by some 30 of his fellow\nctHiaenB, on the eve of his departure\nfor Winnipeg, to become manager of\nthe great retail store of the J. H. Ashdown Hardware company, to which\npost the management of the local\nbranch in Nelson was the stepping\nstone. Mr. Byers might well be proud\nof the testimonial of esteem presented\nto him by tbe members of ithe board\nof trade, and enforced by the remarks\nof affectionate regard made by 16\nspeakers. With the testimonial went a\nhandsome and valuable diamond ring.\nAfter thirty-odd cigars had been lighted, P.. A. Starkey, president of the\nboard of trade, explained that tbey\nwere met'-to hid farewell to an old and\nvalued associate, who had served the\ncity long and faithfully, in every way\nin which its interests could be furthered, but most conspicuously as a .business man,'as a faithful worker on the\naboard, and as a tireless worker for the\nKootenay Lake General hospital, the\nlatter institution owing Its present financial -position to his efforts. Such a\ncitizen was an Inspiration to every citizen, and Mr. Byers exemplified' the\nIdeals of a true citizen, in striking contrast to such as limited their interests\nto their office and their home.\nText of Address\nMr. Starkey then called upon T. D.\nStark, who read the following address:.\n\"It is with a feeling of regret that\nwe have gathered here tonight-to bid\nyou farewell. Your removal to a larger\nsphere of usefulness and influence, will\ntemper the Ibss we sustain by your well\n.earned advancement,\n\"The complete .mastery of the particular business in which you are engag-\ne d 'has procured your appointment to\nthe management of the largest establishment of Its kind in the west, and\nwe feel sure your principals will never\nregret the confidence tthey have reposed\nin you.\n\u2022 \"You, sir, were one of the first, if not\nth\u00ab first, of the grand commercial army,\nwho by their confidence and Irrepressible energy have converted the 'sea\nof. mountains' Into the world renowned\n'Glorious Kootenay.'\n\"Your activities hm*\u00abt*>-not been confined to the commercial interests alone\n\u2014in the midst of your busy life'you\nhave found--time to devote to philanthropic and benevolent . institutions-\nmore especially -the Kootenay Lake General hospital, whose affairs you have\nso ably presided over during the last\nfive years.\n\"The board of trade will miss your\nbusiness knowledge and advice in their\nconstant struggle to prevent undue discrimination against the commercial interests of Nelson und district,\n\"We trust that you will long bo\nspared to wear this emblem of our regard, which it is our happy privilege to\npresent to you, and which iwe feel assured will not be necessary to remind\nyou of the many staunch friends you\nleave behind in the Kootenay.\n\"In conclusion, we wish your wife,\nyour children and yourself, Godspeed,\nand may every iblesslng of health and\nprosperity attend you.\" s\nMany Tributes\nVarious members of the board followed with brtef remarks of appreciation of Mr. Byers. E. A. Crease said\nthat while Nelson was contributing\nmany of ber best \"men to larger fields\nof usefulness, it was a satisfaction to\nknow they would enhance the positions\ntbey would fill. J. E. Annable said tbat\nas a city was what its citizens made it,\nMr. Byers was one of Nelson's chief\nbuilders. H. E. Douglas said many\npoints in the Kootenay would regret his\ndeparture. W. B. Farrls pointed out\nthat a city had no better advertisement than the men it sent to larger\nHolds of usefulness. H. C. Hall paid\na tribute to Mr. Byers' conspicuous\nwork tor the hospital. Other speakers\nwar\u00a9 J. IL. Buchan, William Irvine,\nW. Garland Foster, W. C. E. Koch, A.\nS. Horswill, W. N. Poole, T. D. Stark,\nCharles Scott, J. H. Fox and C. Sewell.\nMr. Stai-key then presented Mr. Byers with a plush box in which reposed\na diamond ring.\nMr. Byers Replies\nMr. Byer& said it afforded him great\npleasure, mingled with regrets, to meet\nhig associates ond receive their kindly\nreferences. He much regretted leaving\nNelson, but he felt that duty called him\nto a new sphere of labor. He touched\non his 20 years lived in the Kootenay,\nand his intimate knowledge of thje\ncountry,, with which he had grown up,\nand for which he felt a deep affection.\nWhen he got to Winnipeg he would\nprobably be stepping high, at first to\nclimb over the rocks. If ever he could\nBerve Nelson or the Kootenay, in hia\nnew position, he would be delighted\nto have commands laid upon him. He\nurged the men of Nelson to support Mr.\nStarkey and work with ihlm for the\nbuilding up of Nelson, and he also\npleaded for support for the hospital,\nto which he tod given seven years of\nservice. A new building was needed\nand the duty of the citizens was plain.\nTaking the ring from Its silken setting, he said: \"I am not used to diamond rings, but I will wear it with\npride; 1 am save the value ia there,\nbut it is not the value, gentlemen, but\nthe kindly good grace with which it Ib\ngiven.\"\nHe would also speak a good word\nfor his boss, Mr. Ashdown. There had\nalways been the best of relations and\nconfidence between them, snd these |\n^^^^\"ij-ConHn*^^\niron mm\nNelson Iron Works, Limited, is Incorporated\nGreatest Between Winnipeg and Vancouver\nBuilt Up Successfully From\n. Beginning\nThe greatest Iron industry in western Canada between Winnipeg and Van-\nc-juver. That is what the Nelson Iron\nWorks, Ltd. oneans for this city\u2014not\nat some time In the future but at once.\nThe new company which has Just\nbeen formed, obsor.bs the existing\nNelson Iron Works and the Rossland\nIron Works. The board of directors ls\nas follows:\nPresident, B. A. Isaacs; vice-president, Leslie Craufurd; directors, S. S.\nFowler, w. M. Cunliffe, R. W. Hlnton.\nSolicitors for the company, Messrs.\nHall & Thompson; bankers, the Bank\nof Montreal; auditor, EdwardsBaillie.\nThe pa^d-up capital is $150,0(10. a\nlarge amount of which has been put into\nthe business by investors Un Great\nBritain.\nBetween Winnipeg and Vancouver\nThe combination ol| -tbe Rosslanid\nplant with the Nelson plant gives the\ncompany facilities for handling business\nana for manttfiacturin** Iron work that\nare unequalled between Winnipeg and\nVancouver and the field of the company\nwill be a wide one. It will extend its\noP&rations into the Boundary and Similkameen on the one hand and into the\nCrow's Nest Pass and Alberta on the\nother.\nA Proved Success\nThe company is not a mushroom\ngrowth or a speculative enterprise. It\nrepresents proved ability and successful .business management. Six years\nago, Mr. Isaacs, shrewdly choosing Nelson as the right basis of operations,\nbought out the business of J. A,.Honey-\nman, when it was a mere\"blabksmlth\nshop. The turnover for the first month\nwas but -\u00a5600, a mere nothing compared (with that to which it had already\nexpanded before the present amalgamation.\nA Story of Steady Growth\nWithin five years under his management, it had grown and prospered until Its payroll is the second largest in\nthe city, .being next only to that of\nthe Yale-Columbia lumber mills. This\nyear the number of Its employees lias\nalready been increased, and in the near\nfuture its payroll will be not far from\nthe top of the list.\nThe Management\nMr. Cunliffe formerly of tlie Rossland Iron Works will be the manager\nof the company, and Mr. Hlnton will\ncontinue to be superintendent. Mr.\nHlnton has seen the growth of the\nbusiness from nothing to its present\ndimensions, through hard times aud up\nto tiie good times. As the practical\nengineer of tlie concern he has been\nthe mechanical genius of the company,\nand like Mr. Isaacs he constitutes in\nhimself one of its valuable assets.\nAdvantages Over Competitors\nIn extending Its field of operations\nthe compan-- has formed strong alliances In the new territory. East of\nthe district covered by Vancouver and\nwest of that covered by Winnipeg, It\nfears no rival. The chief competitor\nwil] be Spokane. As compared with\nSpokane the Nelson company will, perhaps, be at a slight disadvantage as\nto the cost of material, but it will have\nthe advantage of the tariff and of lower\nfreight rates due to its being nearer\nto the customer.\nThe company regards Nelson as the\nstrategic point for manufacturing for\nIts wide field. Among the reasons given\nfor holding this view are the position\nof this city as the centre of the lunir\nbering country, as the centre of the mining country and as a railway centre.\nQuestion for the City\nSome of the Rossland machinery has\nalready .been transferred. Whether tlie\nwhole Rossland plant and buildings\nshall be moved Is stated to depend\nlargely upon what treatment can be\ngot from the city. Rossland Is offering\nstrong inducements to the company to\nleave the remainder of the plant there.\nIt Is hoped, however, that some arrangement may be made with Nelson sucli as\nwill warrant the concentration of the\nwnole -aP the works at this point.\nThe growth of this industry means a\ngreat deal to Nelson both In Itself and\nas a practical demonstration of the\nnatural advantages of this city as a\nmanufacturing and distributing point.\nMAY ARBITRATE\nDErROIT, April 8 \u2014 The Detroit\nUnited railway today refused the demands of its conductors and motormen\nto hive their wages increased to 30\ncents an hour and 46 cents for overtime, from the present rate of 23, 26\nand 27 cents. Arbitration has been suggested as a means of avoiding a strike\nand the men have appointed John Mc-\nVickar.of Detroit as their arbitrator.\nhe men, however, insist that only the\nquestion of wages shall be arbitrated\nwhite the company Insists upon arbitration of ihe entire agreement ibetween\nthe oompany and tbe men, which includes a closed shop provision.\nHOMELESS SETTLERS\nIN WAKE OF FIRE\nPrairie Fire Licks up Everything in Its\nPath from a Bush to a\nBarn\nWATEROUS, Sask., April 8\u2014A\nprairie fire passed through tbe south\nportion of this district last evening and\ntoday homesteaders for several miles\nare coming into town and report the\nloss of elttfer their grain or small belongings.

To these\nstatements no reply seems to bave\nbeen made beyond the question, \"If the\nposition of the company is as thus set\nforth, why have the eminent financial\nmen who are interested in tho company, and who know all about it, allowed its shares to drop from par\nto 40 without buying in? Have they\ndeliberately allowed the stock to\nfall, or assisted In its fall for reasons\nconnected with their operations on the\nmarket.\" t\nUnderstand Locally,\nTo these pertinent quesfflgfli no reply has been given. The anSGwr to the\nconundrum Is apparently still unknown\nto the financial journals of the east.\nHere In Nelson, however, it has been\nno puzzle to local men who are on the\nspot and who are thoroughly familiar\nwith the actual facts of the case.\nThey know the mine and its plant.\nThey know the smelter and its output.\nThey know the capacity and the earning power of each. They know tlie\nactual amount, of capital put Into the\nproperties of the company. They know\nall the conditions and circumstances\nconnected with the operations of the\ncompany. Summed up their verdict is\nas follows:\nToo Much Water In Stock.\nThe property Is now and has been\nfor some time operated to its fullest\ncapacity. The present plant cannot be\noperated so as to make more profit per\nannum than It Is making now. That\nprofit is sufficient to pay a big dividend on the money actually put Into\ntlie business. But it Is nowhere near\nbeing sufficient to pay the promised\ndividend upon tiie enormous amount\nnf watered stock. The price of the\nshares has simply fallen from a price\nbased on the predictions of the directors to a price based on tlie actual\nearning power of the company. (\nTake Their Own Figures.\n\"Take the very statements issued on\nbehalf of the company,\" said one man,\n\u2014and his comments agree with those\nof other men who have heen consulted\nand who can speak with authority,\u2014\n\"They show a net profit for six months\nof $304,646. At the same rate the profit for the year would he in round\nnumbers $600,000. That will not provide the 8 per cent, dividend that the\nshareholders were led to expect and of\nwhich Mr. Walker speaks. It is 8 per\ncent, on $7,500,000 while the capital\noutstanding on Dec. 31 last was $13,-\n500.000.\n\"Even $600,000 is more than tbe real\nnet profit of the mine. At least $200,-\n000 should be deducted for depreciation\nof the plant, and similar charges. That\nleaves $400,000 or 8 per cent, on only\n$5,000,000. It is only three per cent, on\nthe shares already issued up to Dec.\n31 last.\n\"In estimating tlie value of the stock\nIt is also necessary to take into account\nthe fact that all the ore will eventually\nbe taken out and the earnings of tbe\ncompany from its mine will then come\n\u25a0to an end. In proportion to tlie number of years the mine will last, a part\nof the annual net earnings must be\nconsidered not as a dividend but as an\ninstalment on the repayment of the\ncapital.\nStrange Statement.\n\"In view of these foots what are wo\nto think of Mr. Walker's statement\nwhen he says:\nI am utterly at a loss to explain the weakness of Granby\nConsolidated stock. I know that\nthe company is making a large\noutput of copper at a low cost\nper pound, and believe it to be\nearning at the rate of $8 or $0\nper share. The company's ore\ndeposits are very extensive. I\nfirmly believe that Granby stock\nIs worth $150 per share and have\nno doubt whatever that it will\neventually sell at that price.\nAssets,\n\"Take other statements Issued with\na view of impressing the public. In tbe\nlast report of the company,\u2014which is\nquoted as reassuring evidence,\u2014ithe\nchief item in the assets is, 'Cost of\nland, machinery, etc., $15,505,417.' What\nsort of bookkeeping fs it that puts in\nthe cost of all the machinery from the\nbeginning, without making any deduction for depreciation ln order to get\nat tbe real present value of the\n\u25a0machinery as an asset?\nThe Output Claimed.\n\"Again we are presented with the\nfollowing quotation from a report made\nlast December;\n(Continued on rage Five\n FV PAOB TWO 1\n\u00abhe -tmrriti Hem*.\n8ATURDAY APRIL \u00bb.\nThe great Baking ^Powder\nof the country \u2014 ^\nused in \"millions ^of ||\nhomes\u2014never J%\nfailed *m\\\nAlum\nFifty Yeara{\nthe\nStandard\nLime\nPhosphate\nREAM\nBaking Powder\nReceived die highest award\nat Chicago World a Fair\n\u25a0U.E. LOYALISTS\nNEW PRESIDENT\nThe newly elected president of the\nUnited Empire Loyalists' association,\nMajor \"W. Naplei* Keefer, U of direct\nUnited Empire Loyalist descent. His great-\nrgran-lfather, Oeorge Keefer, a citizen or\nthe British! province of New Jersey, lost\nhis life fighting for King George tn the\n(Revolutionary war. At the conclusion or\nthat war his property, consisting of two\nfarms, was eontlsoutt'd, and his two sons,\nOeorge and Jacob, not inclined to remain\nin a land where the Britisli flag no longer\nwaved, set out with a hand of Loyalists\nfor Canada. Most of their journey was\nmade on foot througli the wilderness which\nstretched from New Jersey to the Niagara\n(river. They crossed the river at a point\n\u25a0 where the city of Buffalo now stands. At\nthut time. 1790, it consisted of two fishermen's huts. George Keefer, then a lad\nof 18, elected to settle on the high plateau\neight miles distant from the Niagara Falls\nand proceeded to clear the forest and make\nhimself a \"nome there. Pour hundred acres\nof this land was afterwards granted to\nhim hy Patents Itoyul. Other Loyalists\ncoming afterward, a little settlement\n\u25a0sprang up, which became the village of\nTliorold, of which place lie was looked\nup on as the founder. Later on he was\nassociated with Mr. Merrltt hi promoting\nthe construction of the Wetland canal,\nand was tlie first president of the Weltand\nCanal company. He left a large family,\nof whom Thomas C. Keefer, C.M.G., the\neminent engineer or Ottawa, is now the\nsole survivor.\nMajor Keefer was born at Thorold and\nwas educated at the Gait Grammar school\nafterwards graduating at the University of\nToronto and McGill college, Montreal. He\nwon his commission in the medical department of tlie Imperial army at a com\npetltlve examination held In London, and\nserved for 20 years, retiring wllh the rank\nof major, and for the last six years has\nresided In Toronto. .\nDuring Ills military career Major Keefer\nserved under Lord Roberta in tlie Afghan\nwar, being present at the battle of All-\nMusjid, and under Lord \"Wolseley in the\nEgyptian campaign, taking part ln the\nbattle of Tel-el-Kebir and the forced march\non Cairo, when Arabl Pasha was captured.\nBesides these engagements, lie also served\nthroughout several frontier campaigns In\nIndia, where he spent more than 1*5 years\nof liis life.

What the gold reefs\nnf Johnneshurg are to the Transvaal lhe\n.Wabana iron beiLs are lo Newfoundland.\n.They form Immense deposits of rich red\nItematlte ore, three miles long and several\nhundred feet wide, and showing 34,000,000\ntons In sight above the water. The leads\ndip downward at an agle of eight degrees,\nand it is believed thai they extend below\n\u25a0the sea in practically unlimited iiuantlty,\n(though What is now In sight will suffice\nfor a generation's work, To all intents\nand purposes tlie mine Is an open quarry,\nffhe ore got at by chopping off a surface\nof earth and rock, and than loot-ening the\nhematite with charges of dynamite.\nNature's Freak.\nThe deposit is one of natures freaks. It\n5s a perft-ci reproduction of a tiled floor.\nCountless millions of cubes of mineral are\nlaid out wllh rectangular -nvclslon, following the trend of the stratification, and\nthese seem to \"have been cemented and\nforced together by some giant machinery\nIn prehistoric days. Layer upon layer of\nthese cubes is seen in a vertical section\nof the mine, and the lines of clevage are\n-as clearly perfect as a child's box: of\nblocks. Tlie only difference Is that one\ncannot lift one of these mineral cubes\n\u25a0with the lingers, but a dynamite charge\nfixed in a portion of the deposit by a\nfiteam drill shatters ir for an area of many\nfeet In every direction, and separates tlie\nBotld mass into thousands of little bricks,\neach about three inches sciunre, and as\nperfect in alignment as If produced by an\nartist.\nNo Mining Needed.\nNo mining in the customary sense is\nneeded. The deposit lies Open to the sun,\nand all tht* work Involved fs the loosening\nof successive sections and the gathering\n(up of the fragments, which Is done by\nmen shovelling them into ore cars, wlilch\nrun on a light cable railway to a pier on\nthe seashore. The mine occunles the\nnorthern end of tha island, and hard by\nis a sheltered cove, where a Dler has bren\nbuilt, Whence 10,000 tons of ore inlv be\nloaded in a day. The laden ears are run\ndown an Incline by gravity, and aie up-\nBet automatically, their contents falling\nint., one of ten pockets constructed tn tha\nInterior of the pier. Each pocket take;* a\nthousand tons, and can bo emptied Into\na steamer's hold In ten inlnutfs. Two\nshins n dav can he loaded when business\nIs brisk. For years the surface workings\nwill be continued, and, even when regular\nunderground mining Is required, theie will\nbe none of the deep descents associated\nwith coal and copper mines.\nEase of Working.\nthe case of working and the proximity\nto tide-water makes this deposit one of the\nmost advantageous from an economical\nindustrial point of view that capitalists\ncould possess. The cost of mining the Grand putting It on shipboard is but *.!5\ncents a ton, and the frelsht to Canada\nonly 25 cents more, 50 cents being charced\nfor its conveyance to Europe or the United\nSlates. It Is In great demand in Germany,\nwhere Ironmasters work it very conveniently into poorer oreB, and large tiuantltles\nof it are also absorbed at Philadelphia\nand Baltimore. The price at which it\nsells there yields the owners of the Wabana mine a profit of M a ton, and, as\ncontracts for the delivery of 1,000,000 tons\nhave-been signed for this season, it Is very\neasv to see that there Is a handsome dividend In it for the shrewd capitalists who\ncontrol it.-\u2014Reuter.\nSOUTH AFRICA\nGeneral Botha's Speech to the Annual\nHet Volk Congress at ,\nPretoria\nThe London Times publishes tlie following dispatch:\nPRETORIA, March 22\u2014The annual\ncongregg of Het Volk provided .Gen.\nBotha with -an occasion this morning\nof making his long expected statement\non the political situation. He began\nhy paying a tribute to the work of his\nparty since its formation seven years\nago and clamed that its moderation\nand justice were responsible for the\ngood spirit prevailing in the country\ntoday. He paid a tribute also to the\nwisdom of the imperial government,\nespecially of \"our dear friend Sir\nHenry CarapbeH-Bannerman,\" in hastening the grant of self government to\nthe new colonies and thus assisting the\nwork of union. The union oil South\nAfrica had always -been the main point\nof the Het Volk program. No colony\nhad sacrificed more to this cause than\nthe Transvaal had, but the sacrifices\nwould be doubly repaid.\nTurning to th\u00a9 future, (Jen.

Moreover, the\nbonds must he strengthened between\nSouth Africa and the British empire,\nthe protection of which- was necessary\nto this young nation.\nWarning Against Localism\nContinuing, Gen. Botha warned his\nhearers against localism In the forthcoming union parliament. He advised\nthem to reorganize the party on the\nbroadest possible basis, so that every\none living in South Africa, whatever\nhis nationality, could become a (member. He concluded as follows:\n\"The wise policy you have pursued\nin the Past has been a great success,\nlet us continue with it. Let us grip\neach other's hand and assist to rule\nSouth Africa in the same way as the\nTransvaal is ruled at present.

FOSTER Manager.\n8ATURDAY, APRIL 9.\nCANADIAN CARTWHEELS.\nMany of us will read with apprehension the dispatch from Ottawa which\nsays tbat Hon. Mr. Fielding is meditating the Infliction of more sliver dollars upon the public.\nDoes not Mr. Fielding intend to run\nagain for parliament?\nIf there is one form of money in the\ncountry that Is unpopular lt Is the\n\"cartwheel.\" It ls heavier and more\nclumsy than any coin has a right to\nbe. A coin is supposed to be a convenience not a burden. We do not\nwant pocket-saggers.\nOne would doubtless rather have\nmoney ln the form of silver dollars\nthan have no money at all. But why\nshould any one bave to choose? Summer is approaching; would Mr. Fielding really enjoy carrying half a pound\nor so of metal ln his pocket for hours\nand hours on a bot day?\nSurely we can do something better\nwhen we are beginning to mint our own\ncoins than imitate tbe mistakes that\nhave been made in other countries. A\ndollar coin would be convenient enough\nif it were no heavier than a twenty-five\ncent piece. Perhaps it could be tolerated if it were as big as a half dollar, but that is surely the limit of\nreasonable weight in a coin. There\nought to be\\ enough ingenuity in the\ncountry to devise a dollar coin, if one\nis desired, that will be at least moderately convenient to carry.\nLargely no doubt the business ability\nand the mechanical ability of the men\nIn charge. ,But largely, also, because\nthe business' was situated at the right\npoint. The business intelligence of\nthe management was shown at the out-\n, set In the selection of Nelson as the\nI proper place lor the undertaking.\nIt means a good deal ln the matter\nof a pay-roll. . It means perhaps even\nmore as a pioneer of other Industries\nwhich will follow Its example in seeking the commercial centre of this region. As an advertisement of the natural advantages of Nelson as a seat\nof industry and commerce. It must attract widespread attention.\nThe time will come when Western\nCanada will smelt iron ore. Here ln\nthe Kootenay we have the ore and the\ncoal. As a preliminary to the beginning of Iron mining and smelting, an\nextensive iron manufacturing industry\nwill be invaluable.\nThere is an Immense market for iron\nmanufactures growing up in. Alberta\nand Saskatchewan. In five years the\nimports of iron goods, and of goods into which iron enters largely, will suggest forcibly the question how long the\npeople of those provinces will send\neast to Ontario for such goods. Extensive iron and steel works must Inevitably spring up. On the shores of\nlake Kootenay the ore and the coal can\nbe brought together more economically\nthan anywhere else in the west, with\nthe possible* exception of some pojnts\non the coast; and in accessibility to the\nprairie market, the Kootenay will stand\nalone.\nTHE AUSTRO-RU88IAN UNDERSTANDING.\nThe agreement between Austria and\nRussia ls of no little importance to tbe\nfuture of Turkey and the Balkan\nstates. To Russia it offers the advantage of giving her time, to rest from\nforeign complications and devote herself to the work of re-building her\nstrength. To Austria it means less\nnecessity for relying upon her German\nally.\nTurkey will be greatly benefitted by\nan agreement between the two great\nneighboring powers to support the new\nparliamentary regime. She, too, needs\nrest from war,\u2014needs a period of\npeace to give the progressive party a\nchance to work out the regeneration\nof the country. And this ds probably\nTurkey's last chance. If the present\nregime falls, the great powers are almost certain to step in.\nIf the Young Turks succeed In rejuvenating their country under a form\nof self government, Turkey will probably become an ally of Great Britain.\nGreat Britain's own interests will incline her to support the integrity of\nTurkey. It would not be to her advantage to have Austria, Russia or\nGermany strengthened by,the acquisition of Turkish territory. On the other\nhand every free, progressive country\nmust feel that the dominance of the\ncontinent by Germany would be pre-\njudical to the cause of liberty.\nEngland is the natural ally In every\ncountry in Europe of the party of\nfreedom, Germany is the natural ally\nof >the party of reaction. The success\nin Turkey of the party of freedom will\ntend to strengthen the position of the\ncountry which is the natural \u2022 ally of\nthat party.\nNELSON'S IRON INDUSTRY.\nThe development in Nelson of the\nlargest iron Industry between Winnipeg and -the coast,\u2014an industry doing\nbusiness from the Okanagon to the\nprairie,\u2014is a most significant tribute\nto the geographical position of this\ncity.\nThe Nelson Iron works have outstripped all other competitors In the\nwide stretch ot country which ls their\nfield. What has been the reason?\nEX-ALDERMAN GUILTY\nOF MANY OFFENCES\nBELLEVILLE, Ont., April 8.\u2014The\ntrial of ex-Aid. H. McGlnnis, charged\nwith shooting up the local police station, went on again at 3 o'clock this\nafternoon. Tlie accused took the Btand\nhimself and practically admits everything except shooting with Intent. Magistrate Masson, after listening to addresses by lawyers found McGlnnis\nguilty of assaulting a police officer In\nthe discharge of bis duty, guilty of disturbing the peace, guilty of firing off a\nrevolver inside the corporation, guilty\nof using grossly abusive language to the\npolice, but found him not guilty of\nshooting with intent. He reserved judgment till tomorrow, merely saying that\nit was doubtful If a fine even if heavy\ncould be sufficient punishment to a\nwealthy man like the accused. In\nthe meantime he refused ball and the\naccused must stay In jail.\nPRINCE EDWARD ISLAND\nLEGISLATURE\u25a0>. PROROGUED\nCHAELOTTET-dWN, P.E.I., April 8\u2014\nThe legislature prorogued today after\na session including the opening and\nclosing of 54 days.

The attractions\nare the best known in America, comprising\n\"St. Elmo,\" \"Tlie Girl'of the Golden West\"\nand all the Belaeco sucoeiBes.\nMr. Horstead is enabled to route these\ncompanies into tbe adjacent towns, giving\nthe various componlea from three nights\nto two weeks, according to Uie response\nand co-operntlun promli'-u from outside\n\u25a0piaoes.\nNelson will be the booking centre, and\nall cheap shows and fly-by-nlght will be\nkept out. and the theatrical business built\n\u25a0up to a standard which will bring the best\nline of plays to British Columbia,\n. Ernest .Shipman and Henrietta Spader\nof San Francl-sco, representing Belasco's\ntheatrical IntereatSi reached this city- yesterday from Spokane, coming expressly to\nsound this public upon Its interest In securing the 12 standard plays to be put on\na western circuit, '\nThough this circuit comprises chiefly the\nlarger cities, it Is Mr. Belasco's Intention\nto have at least a play a month over his\ncircuit, thus Insuring- the pleasure; of attending many attractions staged under his\npersonal direction. Belasco's name Is a\nhousehold word, and he can be trusted to\ngive the most representative plays.\nMr. Belasco has chosen \"St. Elmo'' as\nthe first play to make the circuit, and\nwith two such artists as Charles Gunn\nand Gerda Nelson Btarrlng in \"St Elmo,\"\nand their strong support for which Belasco is noted, people will not be disappointed at his choice.\nIt is hardly necessary to review the\nstory of \"St. Elmo,\" as few there are\nwho do not know Us charm. It Is a heart\nstory of tha south* before the war, and one\nof the dramatic successes of the season.\nHarvey and Haynes have been making\na big hit with their classy singing and\ndancing, and Ben Harvey's ragtime piano\nplaying, at the Gem theatre this week,\nSnowle Maybell, In her clever child stories\nand catchy songs, and Juhasz, \"the near\ngreat\" magician, have also -been making\n-good - In a very pleasing manner. This\nafternoon and* tonight will be the last op-\n-portunlty to see this really excellent vaude-\n\u2022ville bill.

The\nfeature film, \"The Paymasters,\" is a line\nsoul-stirring drama, thrilling In the extreme and exciting enough to please the\nmoBt exacting. \"Love With Love Is Paid\"\nls another pretty and well written little\ndrama, \"in the Land of Pnaroea\" we see\nsome very Interesting scenes among the\nEgyptians, also a camel race. Johnny's\nGun,\" (this la a little bit of old country\nhumor), and_\"Mlsadventures of a Pair'of\nTrousers\" are certainly unbeatable comics.\nThe above pictures will -undoubtedly crowd\nthe house tonight, so get In early. Mr.\nLupton will sing \"The Demon King.\"\nThe sale of seats for \"The Royal Chef\"\nkeeps up steadily at the Poole Drug company's, and there Is now little doubt that\nthe beautiful big production will be witnessed Monday night byi as many people\nas can get Inside the house. Such a condition of affairs rarely occurs here, or\nelsewhere for that matter, when a show\ncomes for the flrst time, and then only\nwhen it Is preceeded by - a remarkable\nrecord of success from other cities. It Is\na tribute to the tine reputation which\n\"The Royal Chef\" has acquired all over\nthe country that it is greeted by the\nsanfte token of popular favor as have been\nibestowed upon this extraordinary success\nIn New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and\nother leading cities, and the knowledge\nthat we are to have the No. 1 company,\nand all of the suburb scenery, costumes,\nelectrical effects and other adjuncts of\nthe production which were especially gotten up for the New York run of the piece,\ninsures a presentation of the most admirable character.\nLovers of good pictures will appreciate\nthe excellent program at the Empire\ntheatre today. \"The Prodigal Son\" Is a\nbeautiful portrayal of the biblical story,\nand ls one of the best pictures ever produced by Pathe Freres. \"The Aero Club\nMeet at the St. Louis Centennial Exposition\" Js an unusually interesting subject,\nshowing as It does, all the different types\nof dirigible balloons, \"The Queen of the\nRanch,\" un exceptionally fine western picture, and \"The Bridegroom's Joke,\" Is a\nvery \"numorous subject...\nMlnard's Liniment Relieves Neuralgia\nI consider MINARD'S LINIMENT the\nBEST Liniment In use.\nI got my foot badly jammed lately.

He paid 8 per\ncent, interest to the bank, and 6 1-2 per\ncent, premiums to the insurance companies, and It was an aggravating circumstances to have to do -this when\noutside companies offered to carry the\nrisk tor 3 1-2. Another feature that\nwas not pleasant was that the same\nrate was charged while the mill was\nidle, -though there were no fires kept\nup, and a watchman was on duty constantly. Mr. Buchanan said he had\nnever known a sawmill flre. He bad\nsold out four years ago, and for three\nyears \u25a0previous his mill was tied up.\nCommissioner Lennie said the commission had been assured by a bank\nmanager at the coast, that the banks\nnow accepted policies ln outside companies as collateral for loans..\nAsked If he bad any suggestions to\nmake, as to the recommendations It\nwould be advisable for the commission\nto make to the government and particularly as to the* means by which\ncontrol of the insurance companies\ncould toe effected and enforced. Mr.\nBuchanan preferred to leave that to\nabler hands, but he said there was a\ngeneral feeling among the business\nmen of the Interior that they did not\nwant what was generally called an Insurance monopoly, any more strongly\nentrenched.\nMeans of Regulation.\nCommissioner Lennle\u2014The subject\nof the control of the companies was, the\nfirst point thought of by the commissioners when the sittings commenced\nat the coast, and on this point we hoped to receive suggestions from the\n\u25a0boards of. trade. But the evidence we\nhoped for was not given. The thought\nof the commlrsloners was that a commission could be constituted, to which\nappeals could be made, from the rates\nImposed toy tbe companies. - Consideration of the proposal, however, developed two chief objections, the first being that the -commission would have\nno power to compel the companies to\nabide by its decisions. The second\nobjection was that the commission\nwould be valueless unless Its personnel\nwere competent, and a large staff of\nexperts would also be required. Mr.\nStarkey, yesterday suggested a commission as the best means of securing and administering this control. Of\ncourse the main argument against the\nbill as drafted by the companies, is\nagainst strengthening a monopoly of\ninsurance.\nTo Commissioner Lennie, Mr.\nBuchanan stated he saw no objection\nto a tax on premiums paid to outside\ncompanies. Everybody was taxed. But\nif the insured person paid the tax, it\nwould be an injustice. Commissioner\nMacdowall (pointed out that the only\nway to get the tax was to levy It on\nthe customers, for there waB no way to\ncompel the outside companies to pay\nIt. To this, Mr. Buchanan said If he\nhad his way, he would make It a criminal offence for anyone to unload his\ntaxation on others. Commissioner\nLennle said this, practice was pretty\nwidespread through all forms of business, wherever taxation ln any of its\nmyrald forms prevailed.\nNeed for Control.\nCommissioner Macdowall: said that\nat the coast it was suggested that If\na commission was constituted, and fixed rates that the companies would not\naccept many companies would possibly\nwithdraw from the province. Commissioner. Lennie said that Mr. Ormsby, a\nToronto broker for non-board companies, when asked by the commissioners regarding his idea of . control,\nsmiled, and said that competition was\nthe only solution for unsatisfactory\nrates. Mr. Buchanan said on principle\nne was a free trader, and believed in\nas little interference with business as\n(possible, but In the case of the insurance business be recognized that\nthere was necessity for some form of\nsupervision, for Instance, for the pro-\n. tectlon of the public from Irresponsible\ncompanies, and for other reasons.\nCommissioner Macdowall\u2014Some witnesses at the coast expressed the view\nthat there are too many companies in\nthe field, that if there were fewer companies rates would be lower.\nMr. Buchanan\u2014Of course If you want\nabsolute Insurance, It comes to Insurance by the government. However, I\nam not a Socialist, and would not advocate that.\nFavors Official Investigation.\nTo Commissioner Lennie, Mr. Buchanan thought Investigation of flre\nlosses by an official of the government\nwould be a benefit to the Insurance\ncompanies, which ln the case of suspicious fires, could not stand on their\nrights and thoroughly Investigate, as lt\nwould create feeling in the community\nagainst them. This would be a far\nsuperior method to investigation by a\ncoroner and a local jury, as the local\njury would hardly be expected to find\nagainst the claimant.\nHe stated that Kaslo did not tax Insurance companies as such, in that\nrespect being like Nelson.\nIllustrations of Increase.\nT. D. Stark, manager of the Nelson\nbranch of A. Macdonald and company,\nsubmitted the insurance history of the\nK. W. C. block, which on the previous\nday he had agreed to furnish. The\nlast change in rate on the building,\nwhich was a three-story brick structure, was in 1903, when the rate was\nraised from.$1,85 to $1.90. The agent\nhad agreed with him that the rate\nought to have heen lowered, instead of\nraised, as the building had become - a\nbetter risk, owing to the Green Bros.'\nbrick block replacing the wooden -paint-\nshop across the lane ln the rear.\nThe^ underwriters*, representatives\nsucceeded ln damaging this evidence,\nshowing that the original rate on the\nbuilding had been 92.40, which had\nbeen reduced to $1.85. Further, instead\not the rate being raised in 1903 to\n$1.90, it had been reduced still -further\nto $1.80.\nMr. Stark pulled out ithe current\npolicy, and was surprised to find that\nthis statement was correct\n\u25a0Nelsons Large Proportion.\nAlex. Lelth, secretary-treasurer of\nthe Wood-Vallance Hardware company,\nsaid that, generally speaking, his firm\nhad no objection to urge against tho\nrates they paid for flre Insurance in\ncomparison with the fates charged on\nother properties In tbe city. . They\nlikewise recognized that it was not to\nbe expeoted that the rates charged a\nparticular city would exactly represent\nthe cost to the companies of giving that\ncity insurance. Some cities would pay\nmore than - their exact share, and\nothers would pay less. But the figures\nin the newspaper, in the testimony of\nMayor Selous given the day previous,\nwere so striking that, if correct they\nformed a ground for asking a substantial reduction in the Nelson rates.\nHis own firm paid $1400 annually ln\npremiums, and he could not believe\nthat they carried one-fortieth of the\nInsurance carried In Nelson\u2014yet tbat\nwould be the case If Mayor Selous' estimate of $50,000 to $60,000 as Nelson's\ngross annual premium was correct.\nThe gross annual premium of the city\nmust toe far greater than the mayor's\nestimate. Compared with the total flre\nIon of eight years\u2014$86,000\u2014this was\ntoo great a disproportion.\nCommissioner Lennle suggested that\nthe city's Immunity, from serious flre\nmight not last.-and in the tenth year\nthere might be a conflagration. Mr.\n-.Lelth admitted that possibility but\nargued that the provision the companies were making against that possibility were too large. A few years\nago his firm had a $13,000 fire, and\nthey paid for It In nine years'\npremiums.\nIn answer to a question, Mr. Leith\nsaid his firm carried Insurance in both\nboard and non-board companies and\nsometimes ln outside companies. It\nwas not with them a matter of home\nor outside companies, but of the agents.\nThey gave lnsunfence to an agent usually, and let him place it. If the\n-agent happened to have no Canadian\ncompany, they usually did not object\n\u2022to hts placing, tt tn an outside company. On general principles they preferred a Canadian company if the agent\nhad one.\nRates Not Consistent.\nIn another respect, Mr. Leith considered the rates on his firm's property not consistent. The warehouse, a\nwooden building on the waterfront, several blocks from the fire hall paid\n$2.25. If that was a, proper rate for\nthat building, then $1.45 was excessive\nfor the store, a brick building on Baker\nstreet, within a block of the flre hall\nwith every safeguard, with people always there, and with fire pails in the\ncellar. On the stock a reduction had\noccurred, from $1.80 to $1.65, when it\nhad been moved to a better building.\nHis firm had never objected to the\nrates, regarding them as part of the\ncost of carrying on business.\nHe considered that Nelson was paying for the losses of other cities. On\nthe basis of the real cost of insurance,\nthe rates In Nelson would be reduced,\nand those in some other places would\nbe raised.\nGeneral Muster of Agents,\nMr. Starkey suggested that the commission could obtain much valuable Information If subpoenas were Issued\nsummoning all the insurance agents in\nthe city to give evidence as to the\namount of Insurance placed through\nthem, and as to the gross amount of\nthe premiums paid. By this means the\ncommission would he able to arrive\nat the exact proportion between the\ntotal -premium of the city and Its total\nflre loss.\nCommissioner Lennle said the same\nrequest had been 'preferred by one of\nthe witnesses at the coast. After mature consideration, however, the commissioners had concluded that such a\ndetailed Investigation of this particular\nphase of the subject would consume\nmore time than was available, and\nthere was the additional consideration\nthat the Information that would be\ngiven could not always be relied on.\nThis Kick Pays.\nJ. O. Patenaude, manufacturing\njeweller, next gave evidence, complaining that the rates on both his building\nand -his stock fluctuated, without apparent reason. On the brick building\nthe original rate was $1.70, and this\nwas raised to $1.90, and later it came\ndown to $1.85. The building was\nfavorably situated, but some other\nbuildings of similar character, but surrounded by wooden buildings, enjoyed\na lower rate, the Ashdown Hardware\n\"block, for Instance, paying $1.83. On\nhis stock the original rate was $1.80,\nit was raised to $1.90, and then was reduced to $1.86. fie carried $9000 on\nthe building, and $11,000 on the stock.\nAs ln the cases of previous witnesses\nthe Insurance representatives, with\nbooks and maps before them, were able\nto challenge the figures ln one or two\nrespects. The original rate on the\nbuilding, according to figures read by\nA. W. Robs, secretary of the Underwriters' association, was $1.67, which\nwas In 1904 increased to $1.77. The\nrate now stood at $1.65.\nThis was good news to Mr. Patenaude. Mr. Starkey said he assumed\nthat the exceBs paid, the difference between $1.65 and $1.85, would be refunded to Mr. Patenaude. The underwriters' representatives said that was\nthe case, and that the companies were\nall the time making adjustments.\nFurther scrutiny^ of the records showed that the reason the rate* was Increased at an earlier stage was due to\nan assay.office being conducted In a\nvault connected by a door with tbe\nbuilding. Mr. Patenaude Said this had\nbeen closed for some time, '\"they tell\nus,\" he eald, \"tbat It is no use to ask\nfor reductions. There Is nothing for\n-us to. do hut go and sit in our homes,\nand take what they give us.\"\nMr. Robs\u2014It is a bad game.\nPlea for Millenium.\nMr. Starkey here mane a plea for\nthe taking off of tbe \"plus\" from tbe\nNelson rate.

Waring -Giles, president of the Underwriters' association, wished to show\nsome grave Inaccuracies in the evidence given at the coast by John Y.\nOrmsby, the Toronto independent\nbroker, which he had only just had\nopportunity to read. Where Mr. Ormsby claimed that his firm's commissions\namounted to 10 per cent., the government bluebook showed that the commissions of the Ottawa Insurance company were over 40 per cent. This\nmeant only one thing, that 30 per cent,\ncharged by the company's agents was\nfor his firm. He had no doubt that\nhe could show other Inaccuracies If\ngiven time, hut he considered this one\ninstance enough to discount Mr.\nOrmsby's whole evidence.\nThe commissioners reminded Mr.\nGiles that Mr. Ormsby and his associates owned 90 per cent, of the stock\not the Ottawa Insurance company.\nCommissioner Lennle added, that\nwhile perhaps some of Mr. Ormsbjels\nstatements mlpn't be successfully attacked if his evidence was closely examined, he had nevertheless given the\ncommission a great deal of very valuable information.\nThe chairman asked if anyone else\nhad anything to bring before the commission. No further witnesses were\nforthcoming, and Commissioner Lennie\nsaid:\nAdjourns Commission.\n\"The commission has arrived at the\nstage now where we have given everybody a full opportunity to come before\nus and give their views. We propose\nthat this session shall close the taking\nof evidence, unless something very special arises to be presented. It is proposed to hold the final -sessions at\nVictoria, at a date to be fixed later, to\nhear argument in support of or In opposition to the proposed insurance\nAdjournment was taken to 2:30\no'clock on the chance that some witnesses might present themselves in the\nafternoon.\nAt that hour Commissioners Macdowall and Erskine were present, and\nextended an invitation to possible witnesses.

Nei8on.B.c.\nWith the improved system of\nelectric haulage at the mines,\nthe Improvements recently completed at the smelter, which has\neight enlarged furnaces, each\nwith a capacity of 600 tons every\n24 hours, and with an absolute\ncertainty of ample ore and\npower, the Granby company\nshould make 40,000,000 pounds\nof copper annually without further enlarging of the smelter\nplant. For the month of October\nthis year, (1909), 17,000 tons of\nore were treated at tbe smelter.\nDuring November they will treat\nabout 120.000 tons and after that\n130,000 tons should be mined and\ntreated monthly by the Granby\nfor a very long period.\nThe Real Output.\n\"That may read all right in New\nYork, but what are the facts? Instead of treating 130,000 tons per month\nsince December, the smelter has taken\nonly 108,000 tons per month. The\ntotal for the three months of January,\nFebruary and March is 324,990 tons.\nAnd every practical man here knows\nthat the smelter has been running at\nthe full permanent capacity of the\nplant.\n\"There ls something odd about the\nreturns for last October and December.\nThoso for October are away below the\naverage for the preceding months in\nthe same year; those for December\nare much higher, and they are much\nhigher than for the months since then.\nThe effect of the presentation of such\nfigures to the stock exchange on December 31, was to make tt appear that\nthe tonnage was greatly increasing.\nPredictions Not Realized.\n\"As a matter of fact the tonnage since\nthen has been at a rate only slightly\ngreater than for the preceding six\nmonths. The amount for January,\nFebruary and March has been at the\nrate\u2014 of 1,299,960 per annum. For\nthe 'preceding six months it was at\nthe rate of 1,198,728 per annum.\n\"The same statement predicts that\nthe company will make 40,000,000\npounds of copper annually, 20 or 22\npaunds being obtained from each ton\n\u25a0treated. As a matter of fact, at the\nrate of 20 pounds per ton, 1,299,960 tons\nwill produce less than 26,000,000 pounds\nof copper.\n\"The chances are that the reason\nthe big financial men interested in tbe\ncompany did not buy In when the stock\ndropped Is simply that they did not\nwant to pay more for It than it waa\nworth. They realized that the actual\nfacts were bound to come out sooner\nor later, and that the task of holding\nup the stock was a hopeless one.\n\"The company, of course, will continue to operate. It is better to earn\nthree or four per cent on the capital\nthan nothing at ail.

MACKENZIE\nTALKS IN LONDON\nAdvocat s Policy of Imperial Tariff\npreference\u2014C.N.R. Construction\nEast and West\n\u25a0William Mackenzie, the president\nof the Canadian Northern railway, arrived in London an Tuesday morning,\nhaving crossed -by the Lusitania from\nNew York to Fishguard.\n'Steps are about to be taken towards\nthe creation of a third railway across\ntbe Dominion from the Atlantic to the\nPacific, which is the ultimate aim of\nthe Canadian Northern. The president,\nin a statement made soon after his\narrival said that In Ontario the line\nfrom Toronto estward to Ottawa would\nbe finished this autumn as far as Trenton, in the heart of the apple growing\ndistrict north of Lake Ontario. The\nline from Toronto In tlie opposite direction is making good progress. The line\nIb eventually to run round the north\nshores of Lake Huron and Lake Superior to the head oC navigation at\nPort Arthur, whence the main line already runs to Winnipeg and straight\nacross the prairie to Edmonton. On\n\u25a0this lake section, the \"head of steel\"\nis now about 60 miles beyond Sudbury;\nand there is already a large traffic in\ntimber as well as iron. On the western\nprairies about 600 miles will be added\nthis year to the companys' numerous\nlines. The construction of the proposed\nmain line from Edmonton to the Yellowhead Pass, a distance of about 240\nmiles, will be actively proceeded with.\nThis year will also see the beginning\nof the new line of 500 uniles across\nBritish Columbia, slanting down from\nthe Yellowhead Pass to the city of Vancouver, through the valley of the\nThompson river, -the British Columbia\nlegls'ature having voted ft financial\nguarantee to the extent of $35,000\n(\u00a37000) a mile. In connection with\nthis scheme a train ferry will be established from the mouth of the Fraser\nriver to Victoria, the provincial capital\non Vancouver island.\nAir. Mackenzie confidently expects\nthat the long hoped for railway from\nthe prairie to a port on Hudson bay,\nopening up an entirely new ocean route\nbetween the Canadian northwest and\nthe British isles, will be running within\nthree years. The Canadian Northern\ncompany already have a line built In\nthat direction as far as the Pas on the\nsouth bank of the Saskatchewan river.\nIt Is understood that lhe Dominion government will this year build the neces-\nsard bridge across the river. It remains to be seen whether tiie government or the country will build the railway on from the river to the .bay.\nCanada and the Empire\nAs to the progress of the Canadian\nwest in general Mr. Mackenzie predicts\nthat within five years the wheat production of the country will reach 300,000,-\n000 bushels. The wave iof immigration\nfrom the United States is rapidly rising. Last year 90,000,000 Immigrants\narrived froni the United States, bringing with them capital estimated at $90,\n000,000 (\u00a318,000,000.) This year as\nmany as 200,000 are expected and large\nsales of prairie land are taking place.\nIf the United States government decides to levy Its higher customs duties\non Canadian products, Mr. Mackenzie\nconsiuers that Canada will not ibe seriously Inconvenienced. As to the Increase of American products coming\ninto Canada, an increase considerably\ngreater than that of Canada's imports\nfrom the mother country, he pointed out\nthat the Americans are not only close\nat hand, but \"come right after the business,\"\nMr. Mackenzie expressed very strong\nsympathy with the cause of tariff reform in the mother country. Our delay\nin setting about this business might\nhave deplorable consequences. \"Preference,\" he said, \"is not so essential to\nthe colonies as it is to the empire as\na whole, fhe question is, in fact,\nwheuier we are to be an empire or not\nThe present imperial parliament Is too\nmuch occupied with local affiairs. I\nshould like to see each part of this\nkingdom, with its local legislature, as\nwell as a central parliament\u2014like our\nprovincial legislatures and federal parliament\u2014and to crown all, a truly imperial parliament, in which the whole\nempire would be fully represented.\nThere will not \nFOR SALE-Magoon strawberry plants,\n$3 per thousand.

Pacts, tested by\nthe most rigorous scientific method-j\nhe recognizes as necessarily the proper\nbasis of history. But it is not historical 'material\" we .wish to study, he\n\u25a0uoijits out, \"but the minds of men.\"\nThe nightmare of tlie historical professor, he observes, \"is the student\nwho reverences facts and accepts any\nstatement that he finds in print; to\nwham the revelation of the great man's\nprivate con-espondence with his sovereign are equallly material.\" \"Pacta\nas facts, however carefully selected,\nscientific treatment in itself, however\nnecessary for the ascertainment ot\ntruth,\" lie further declares, \"are no\nmore history than recruits arrayed in\nbattalions are an army.\"\nTyranny of Facts\nThe escape from the tyranny of factj\nlie takes it, \"Is that high quality of\nthe mind which makes us see things\nas they are; and that is only another\nterm for imagination.\" One of its\nuses pointed out by Professor Hart\nin his address before the American\nHistorical Association (printed In the\nBoston Transcript of January 22) la\nthe help we receive toward sympathizing with the great men of the past\u2014\nto understand the limitations of -their\nsurroundings. He puts in this way:\nAgainst the habit of pulling down\nnational heroes there Is a visible reaction. Horace Walpole, in his \"Historic doubts on the Reign of Richard\nIII., was one of the first to go into\nthe interesting pursuits of revising the\njudgment or mankind on a supposed\nscoundrel. That has been the fovorite\ntask of Fronde, who may be said to\nbave chisled for himself, out of a block\nof very seamy marble, a new statue\nof Henry VIII. The book of a well\nknown military critic upon Napoleon\nbrought from one oft his legal friends\nin Boston the comment \"I never\nknew before that John Ropes was a\ngood criminal lawyer.' Edmund An-\ntiros has his apologists; Aaron Burr\nhis defenders; somebody has adduced\nevidence that Benedict Arnold was a\nmisunderstood patriot\nNobody Indlspenslble\n\"Whether saints militant or sinners\nerrant great men contuse all. the categories of the scientific historian.' Tolstoy may look upon them as merely\nthe foam on the top ol a vast bllloW,\nbut,, in a world o^inum-ane nature in\nwhich the sternest critics liave ot been\nable entirely to banish free will, a\ngreat man is a dynamic Influence\nLouig XIV. - delays the adjustment of\nEurope for two centuries; and Napoleon catches up the two hundred years\namd completes the national development in a decade. Perhaps nobody 1%\nindispensable in history, but It is easy\nto see to the career of ZwlngU and\nCalvin that without Luther the German\nReJSoranation would nave failed. If\nGeorge Washington had been shot at\nBraddock's Field, the English colonies\nin North America might have remained\nEnglish for another half-century. Without Abraham Lincoln the rivalry of the\nNorth and South would have gone on\nindefinitely. Great men perhaps do not\nmake history: they are never greater\nthan the country through whihe they\nwork, 'but they concentrate history,\nreflect it, exemplify it, alter it\nScientific History\n\"Scientlfice history processes to know\nneither right nor wrong. In Old-\nfashioned hospitals there was a thing\ncalled 'laudable pus,' and we are fat\nmiliar with the 'vicious circle,' but to\nthe genuinely scientific mind there U\nneither vice nor virtue; the massacre\nof St. Bartholomew is like the Great\nAwakening of 1740-1742, simply a ma*-\nferial for study. Every investigator\nknows that imaginative history can not\nin the nature of things, he dispassion-\nat e; and -many historical writers feel\na responsbllity for pointing out the\nmoral lessons oif the evils they des\ncribe. Without developing the whole\nstudy of men on every pace the historian must nevertheless consider to\nwhat end his people, his nation, his\ncombinations of human wills e*re tending. Every historical student likes to\nlook on his wn work as a road-book\nwhich not only describes the ridges\nand the turns in the hills but tells you\nwhere you can put up tor the night\nand how far It is to Rome. How far\nhistory is in itself a moral influence ls\ndebatable; hut on this side .the scientific method tails; -there fs much in\nhistory that can be -measured like\natomic weights, or averaged like Insurance losses.\"\nIn cases where toots were deficient\nin furnishing the backbone far history\nthe meager supply of genuine data\ncame to be Infused with! a shadowy\nsomething which may be called sentiment or the Ideal, or spirit, or imagination.\" Many efforts are ito be found\nto teach history outside facts. Some\nof -these are dealt with in the Professor's brilliant style:\n\"Earlier mankind loved to drape a\nfew facts with robes of imagination, ln\nmyths which doubtless preserve some\nhistory, likes files in the ram-ber, and\nare historical materials only so far as\nthey reveal things that people liked to\nbelieve. The modern world ts not without its myths; to be descended from\ngods Is a distinction which the Emperor\nof Japan to this day insists upon as bis.\nMyths to Order\n\"American history, on its controversial side, has been enriched by several\ndistinct -attempts to manufacture myths\nto order. The flrst of these might be\ncalled the worship of- tho Pilgrim\nFathers; dt is the -ascription to a band\nof men and women, who represented a\nsplendid cause, and were the pioneers\nIn a magnifielent historical pageant of\nvirtues which are In fact possessed only\nby their descendants. My ancestor,\nStephen Hart, helped to settle Cambridge, and later was one of the fundamental Orders of Connecticut; but in\nthe Pequot War he massacred Indian\nwomen and children mercilessly. I\ntake no responsibility for his acts; 1\nreier the case to the commissioner of\nIndian affairs.\n\"A similar mvth causes the exaltation of the Southern cavalier, who was\na personage about as infrequent In\nVirginia as in New York. It is at least\n\u25a0remarkable that few of hte -great Virginia families of the nineteenth1 centiury\ncan show a cavalier lineage; 'neither\nthe Jeff er sons, nor Madlsons, Monroes.\nMarshalls. Cart-era. Carys, nor Bryans\ntrace undoubted descent from one of\nthe bearers of the love-locks. i\n\"In many ways the most interesting\nof the American myths is 'tihiat which\nhas clustered about Marcus Whitman\nand which was resolved into ita elementary eases hy our late colleague\nEdward G. Bourne, a scholar eminent\nin both constructive and destructive\ncritical spirit. Quite different in Wnd\nIs the George Washington myth, 'popular delusions chiefly due to Masori L.\nWeems, who with unwinking inaccuracy sets himself forth as \"fonmer rector\nof Mount Vernon Parish.\" Weems\nhas never been (properly understood by the American onhfh: he\nlanded himself among the immortals -by\nwriting what is substantially a romance\n\u2014a kind ot patriotic Sanford and Mer-\nton\u2014not. intended to give information\nabout George Washington but to' sug-\n-IjauTv Suno.C o% lanpuoo sn\u00a9n*j*fA isoS\n\"Who but the expert performep upon\nthe imagination could personify Washington's farther on the boy's refusal to\ndivide a fine apple with his brothers\nand sisters: 'George looked ln silence\non-the wide wilderness of fttilt He\nWBiikel! the busy humming bees, and\nheard the gay notes of birds; then lifting his eyes filled with shining moisture\nto his father, he softly -said, \"Well, Pa.\nonly forgive me this time; and oee if\nI ever be stingy any more.\" Human\nnature rebels at this attempt to make a\nprig out. of a youth who was probably\nmore -likely to steal apples than to\ndivide them.\"\nDRY FARMING FOR SOUTH AFRICA\nTlie Llchtenburg experiment in dry\nfarming Ib the most Important application of science that has yt-t been made\nto the agricultural industry ot South\nAfrica. The government dry land agronomist, Dr. William Macdonald, expresses the view that he \"believes there\nis no portion of the semi-arid western\nzone of the Transvaal' where winter\nwheat may not be grown, given a fair\nsoli and proper scientific treatment,\nby means of moisture saving fallow\nlands.\" What this means to South Africa It is difficult to state in measured\nterms. It is not 'beyond the bounds of\nprobability that the whole of that vast\nterritory, close on 2000 miles in length,\nwhich stretches from ClanwillUwn In\nthe Cape, through Bechuanalamd, right\nup to the Victoria Falls in Rhodesia,\nwill be transformed at some future date\nInto a jrieh wheat growing region, by\nthe application of the principle of dry\nfarming. Up to the present practically\nthe whole of the wheat crop of the\nTransvaal has been grown under irrigation. Last year It was a failure in some\nportions of the colony, although grown\non deep rich loams, due to the excessive\nirrigation so widely practiced, which\nweakens the stocks .checks the development of thie kernel and predisposes tiie\nwhole crop to the ravages of rust. In\na South African paper Dr. Macdonald\nalso makes the following statement on\nthis important subject: \"Irrigated wheat\nwill never successfully compete with\ndry land wheat, which produces a far\nfiner flour, as has been conclusively\nshown in Utah and elsewhere. What\ndoes it -mean the n if we can raise upon\nour dry land a bright clean wheat, untouched by -rust and free from smut,\nrivalling in lustre and strength tho\n-wheat of tbe western United States and\nthe northwest of Canada. Is it possible to over estimate the potentialities\nof this newly discovered dry land wheat\n\u25a0belt for South Africa at a time when\nthis cereal Is steadily rising In price In\nEurope and the Orient? Is It too much\nto say that, already we stand at the\nthreshold of a great agricultural era.\nto be accompanied by a rise In land\nvalues and an export oversea, trade in\n(wheat? but beyond that Ilea til\u00a9 possi-\nWitty ofl throwing open to -immediate\nsettlement,* once our stock diseases are\nwell under control, those -millions of\nacres of barren untliiecUveldt wMch to-\nday make up our priceless heritage.\"\n\u00bb*H\u00bb\u00bbMMIiMI\u00bbM<>\u00bbMM\u00bb->Hn\u00bb\u00bbMM>#\u00bbM\u00bb\u00bb\u00bb\u00bb>\u00bb>Mttl\u00bb\u00bb\u00bb*\u00bb\nTHE BRITISH LAND UNION.\nIt will he part of the business ot\nthe Land Union to remind the tens\not thousands of voters who have Interests, direct or indirect, in the preservation Of landed property of these\nand other frank avowals, and to point\nout how the principles avowed are\nbeing applied ln the' budget But one\nof the best features about the now\norganization is that it will not confine itself to mere criticism. It will\nhave a constructive policy of Its own,\nand a highly Important indication of\nthe character of this policy in one\nrespect Is given us already.
